Apache Ant symbolic is broken, link installed by apt-get

[toru esashika]

The symbolic links in /usr/bin/ant and /bin/ant are the same. However, the symbolic link in /bin/ant points to a location where the command does not exist.

$ ls -l /usr/bin/ant
/usr/bin/ant -> ../share/ant/bin/ant

$ ls -l /bin/ant
/bin/ant -> ../share/ant/bin/ant

This '/bin/ant -> ../share/ant/bin/ant' is a '/bin/share/ant/bin/ant'. It's nothing the Path.

$ sudo find / -name ant
/usr/bin/ant

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
